We are joined by Bridgette Behling, who has over 15 years in higher education and she currently serves as the Director of Community Support and Leadership at the George Washington University. Additionally, she serves as an Advocacy Group Member for NASPA's Center for First-Generation Student Success. In this episode, you’ll get to learn about Bridgette’s love for Hamilton, her perspective teaching leadership in our nation’s capital, and some non-traditional ways she is learning about leadership right now. We then dive in to a conversation about what it means to be first generation and how leadership educators can best serve first generation students while considering imposter syndrome, cultural capital, and more.
